[gentoo-user] Help, please! I've hosed my gcc.
Hi, Gentoo. My gcc now fails to work. I upgraded it earlier on (I think) after doing an emerge --sync. I can't remember the before/after versions, or even whether I've got both of them. lipgmp has a lot to do with my problem. After my last emerge -uND world, I think libgmp was upgraded. At any rate the messages on the screen directed me to revdep-rebuild --library /usr/libt64/libgmp.so.3 , which I did. They then informed me I could safely delete libgmp.so.3, which I also did. :-( Now, when I attempt gcc on the command line, I get the error: /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory . So, is there an easy way for me to recover a working gcc, or do I have to do something desperate, like reinstalling Gentoo? :-( Help will be most appreciated. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

Re: [gentoo-user] Help, please! I've hosed my gcc.
symlink it to the later version, or copy the lib over from another system. Then rebuild dev-libs/gmp and dont delete the lib! I got bitten by this but only on one system - the file is supplied by the later ebuild so I dont know why it asks to delete it. Was in the middle of a major snafu when it bit so didnt bug report it - should have. BillK On Tue, 2011-11-15 at 21:44 +, Alan Mackenzie wrote: Hi, Gentoo. My gcc now fails to work.

Check to make sure a gcc is selected: gcc-config -l Sometimes if a old version is removed the link is sort of left dangling in the wind. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...

I did gcc-config -l, and it displayed 2 versions of gcc. Then I did gcc-config --help.
